I don't think there's much else to say that haven't yet been brought up, but from a validator's perspective: Between a choice of the chain abruptly dying in 2027 due to rewards going to 0 and everyone unstaking, and the chain continuing to chug along, I'd pick number two.
This is the beginning of a new economic era for Cronos. A governance proposal is live today. It transitions CRO from inflation-funded rewards to a revenue-backed model - powered by the Cronos App and the broader ecosystem. Here is what's changing.

I'm just glad this particular mystery is finally solved, though! (insert Scooby doo gif here as appropiate) (this was back when the cap would be hit in 2030) nitter.gq/zanglang/status/165551…
Replying to @Superlion_cro
Unfortunately we don't know still, this would be a question better answered by the @cronosapp team. FWIW, we still have until roughly ((5B - 1.045B)/0.544)=7.27 years from now ~ 15 August 2030 to solve this mystery!🥸

Oh, hey, looks like it's time for me to un-lurk. Bonus tip on understanding the new $CRO tokenomics: paste these two architecture decision documents into your favorite AI, *then* ask them to break it down for you. github.com/thomas-nguy/cosmo… github.com/thomas-nguy/cosmo…

Sidenote: the 2 final ADRs committed into the primary Github repos are significantly shorter/condensed and less technical/informational, or do not sufficiently explain the rationale for their design. github.com/crypto-org-chain/… github.com/crypto-org-chain/…

Damn it, my shitposts keep coming true. I really should look into opening one of those highly-leveraged longs next time I write whacky tinfoil hat theories...

My 2 Q's: 1. Has the crypto landscape or internal strategy shifted regarding CDC's relationship with @cronosnetwork and the $CRO token? With $CRO now featured more prominently, are changes coming to how Crypto.com engages with Cronos or its role in the ecosystem?

2. This AMA comes 3 weeks after prop 29's release, one with significant implications for $CRO holders and the broader @cronosapp community. Why the long silence, and can we expect more transparency and timely communication on major changes going forward?

Behind every seamless cross-chain transaction, there’s an unsung hero—relayers. These numbers from @SmartStake show who’s been putting in the work to keep @Fetch_ai interchain connections alive and thriving over the last 30 and 90 days. Salute to the top operators: 🔹 Architect Nodes 🔹 Cros-nest 🔹 Cosmos Rescue 🔹 Inter Blockchain Services 🔹 ChainTools IBC is more than tech—it’s a movement. Respect to the builders🫡 #IBCgang

Note that the Cronos POS chain v5 upgrade has also reduced the max inflation rate from 3.7% > 1%. This reduces the raw on-chain staking APR by about 5%, from 8.2% to 7.85% now (after deducting community tax). Card staking APR should now be 7.07% after CDC's 10% commissions.

Dear fellow Cronos POS Chain validators, I would like to cordially invite you to consider a coordinated action in response to Proposal 29. Something small and peaceful, but sends a clear message.

We are not just mindless block producers -- as receptacles of our users' assets and trust, we have a duty to safeguard governance and uphold the integrity of the chain. As validators, we are also thought leaders, setting the standard for accountability.

For starters, please consider changing your moniker so that it reflects on the @onchain_wallet app for users. This should not affect the chain or block production in any form -- but we could go that route if needed. Thank you.

Jerry's Pool is voting NO on prop 29 to 'unburn' and allocate 70B $CRO for the Cronos Strategic Reserve. The prop lacks an exact allocation plan, and raises concerns about diluting the supply with no clear benefits for stakers and hodlers. zanglang.notion.site/prop-29

If an allocation of such a large amount of funding were necessary, it should come with proper oversight, proper tokenomics adjustments, and a guarantee that rewards will flow back to actual users, not vague promises. You can't call it a flywheel if it's only 1 way.

Time to be evil.
Bonus completely-unhinged worst-timeline guess: CRO becomes inflationary around 2024 + 4 more years = 2028, everyone rejoices with their multi-trillion CRO wallet balances.

Somehow, i was not surprised about the announcement. I'm fine If the funds do eventually trickle down to users within the space (i.e. 'Avalanche Rush'), I just don't like all this reality-bending, this timeline is already dark enough as it is
